Woman banned from TPS property after groping teacher

A Toledo woman was banned from all city school properties after she allegedly made inappropriate comments to, and then groped, a teacher.

Annette Downs, 54, of 515 Western Ave., is charged with assault upon a teacher; she pleaded not guilty today during an arraignment in Toledo Municipal Court. Her bond, which was then posted, was set at $2,500.

According to an affidavit filed by a Toledo Public Schools resource officer, the suspect, on May 29, called over an Arlington Elementary teacher – who was having class outside – and made inappropriate, sexual comments to the teacher and then ripped open the teacher's blouse and grabbed the woman's breast.

A TPS spokesman confirmed that there was an incident with the suspect and that she will no longer be allowed on school property.

I'm Taylor Dungjen, crime reporter for The Blade. I've been covering crime in the Glass City since March, 2011. Lots has happened around here since then and, I'm sure, there's more to come. But what you see in print or on our Web site, toledoblade.com, is only a fraction of what goes on and there's always more to the story.
I'm inviting you on a ride along as I cover crime in and around Toledo. Check back often for strange news, shenanigans, behind-the-scenes information you won't get anywhere else, and ramblings on my life as a crime reporter for 'one of America's great newspapers.'
